Neighbourhood Plans

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Localism Act 2011 gives local communities the ability to create local planning policies within what is called a Neighbourhood Plan.

Neighbourhood Plans are produced by the local parish or town council or, in cases where there is no such body, a properly constituted neighbourhood forum. Neighbourhood Plans allow local people to influence future changes in their area by setting out policies to help get the right type of development for their community but the plans must still meet the needs of the wider area.
